Septentrion was a land that knew peace, but the kingdom was also cold and unforgiving. Since the Great War, unity had bound its people together, though they lived under a realm whose cruelty lingered like the shadows of a fading winter sun.
Aerilyn had never known abundance. Her father, fallen in the Great War, had left her little - just faint memories, a fading pride, and her younger brother, Aeron. The two of them grew up in a remote village in the north, raised by the families of their closest friends after they were orphaned.
Then, one bleak winter's day, Aeron vanished. He left no word, no hint of his whereabouts. Determined to bring him home, Aerilyn set out into the unforgiving wilderness, her friends following close behind.
Yet, as Aerilyn scoured the icy land for her brother, she found far more than she sought. She discovered allies in unexpected places, a love that thawed her guarded heart, and a courage she never knew she possessed. And in the end, her journey became more than a search for her missing brother - it was a path to her own destiny.
